K

I saw a beautiful soul
an oh so lonely soul
reaching out for love.
I want to tell her it's not enough
no one will ever fill that hole
that is deep inside her heart.
I wanted to comfort her
because 13 years ago,
I must have been her.

I wanted to protect her
but no one can protect her
like no one could protect me
I held her and that was enough
I made her smile and that was enough
I hope life goes easier on her.
I hope she is not jaded like me,
13 years later.
